2. Others have acknowledged that the testimonies to them were true, but after reading them have laid them away to remain in silence, while they have made but little change in their lives. These testimonies related more or less to the churches to which these persons belonged, who could also have been benefited by them. But all this was lost in consequence of these testimonies’ being held private. {1T 630.4}

2. Andre har indrømmet at vidnesbyrdene til dem var sande, men efter at have læst dem, har de lagt dem væk og forblevet tavse, skønt de kun har gjort en lille forandring i deres liv. Disse vidnesbyrd angår mere eller mindre de menigheder, som disse personer tilhører, som også kunne have fået gavn (631) af dem. Men alt dette er gået tabt som følge af, at vidnesbyrdene var forbeholdt private.
